"Xiao Yi, are you busy?"
Busy? Not busy at all.
Lying on the sofa, Su Yi lazily replied:
"If someone else called, I'd definitely be busy, but when the Empress Dowager calls, of course I'm not busy."
"You're so glib," Mom Li Yi said, clearly pleased with the response, and then got down to business:
"Are you busy tomorrow? Do you remember Aunt Wang? The one who used to play mahjong with me all the time."
"Her daughter is also studying in Jiangcheng. She came back for the summer vacation and stayed for a month, but she couldn't stand it anymore. She said she wants to go to Jiangcheng to work a summer job or something. She's an old friend of mine, so could you see if you can take care of her when the time comes?"
"???"
What the hell?
Su Yi was utterly bewildered.
What kind of era is this? Does an adult need him to take care of them when they go out to find a job?
I'm afraid taking care of her is a pretense, and a blind date is the real deal, right?
But he also knew why his mother would have such thoughts.
Li Yi is an extremely protective person, especially towards her own son.
If it were before, when he was just a small employee at a food processing plant, although life was decent, she wouldn't even consider asking him to take care of someone else, as it would add trouble for him.
But things are different now. Su Yi has already shown a small portion of his wealth.
In a big city like Jiangcheng, having ten million or so might not make you a very rich person.
But in his small hometown, that's definitely considered a local tycoon.
In Li Yi's eyes, her son is now well-off and has established himself.
The next step, of course, is to get married.
Finding him a blind date, using the excuse of taking care of her to let them get to know each other.
It's actually quite normal.
If someone else made this request, he wouldn't even bother with them.
But who told her to be his own mother?
Su Yi could only helplessly say:
"Mom, didn't I tell you? I have a girlfriend, don't worry about it."
To deal with his mother's urging to get married, he had sent her a photo of him and Yue Ling.
"The girl in the photo you sent is prettier than a big star, would she be interested in you? Do you really think your mom doesn't go online and doesn't know about those businesses online that specialize in beautiful women pretending to be girlfriends to deceive their families? If you want to fool me, at least find someone normal. She's as beautiful as a fairy, no one would believe you."
Obviously, because Yue Ling was too beautiful, his mother didn't believe him at all.
This was very frustrating.
Su Yi wanted to argue further, but she hung up the phone directly.
Then he saw on WeChat the girl's name and other information that his mother had sent, as well as the information about her train ticket arrival time tomorrow.
It also included a photo.
You have to say, just looking at the photo, she is quite pretty.
Although she can't compare to Yue Ling, but this is an objective difference that exists between different species.
Aside from a slight difference in appearance, the little girl also has a youthful temperament unique to the girl next door in youth TV dramas, full of vitality.
I just don't know if the photo is photoshopped, and how much it's been photoshopped.
Looking at her age, good heavens, nineteen years old.
She really is a little sister.
"Then I'll reluctantly pick her up." After looking at the photo, Su Yi felt that since things had come to this, it wouldn't be appropriate to leave her stranded at the station if he didn't pick her up.
Of course, this has nothing to do with her being pretty and eighteen years old, it's mainly because he's a good person and can't bear to see a little girl alone at the station in this hot summer without anyone taking care of her.
When eating dinner in the evening, Su Yi told Yue Ling about this matter.
Yue Ling was quite calm and didn't think there was any problem with this.
In their world, there is no such thing as monogamy.
Moreover, she has always regarded herself as Su Yi's guardian knight and has never considered herself the first wife.
Besides, this is just a blind date, it's not even set in stone yet.
...
The next afternoon, he arrived at Jiangcheng Station on time.
Yue Ling naturally came with him.
However, he didn't drive too good of a car.
After becoming rich, he naturally bought himself a few luxury cars, including business executive models, sports cars, and off-road vehicles.
But the one he drove this time was just his previous second-hand car worth tens of thousands of yuan.
These days, he doesn't want to go on a blind date, and the girl might not want to either.
According to Su Yi's idea, everyone will meet, have a meal, and deal with their respective parents, and that's it.
If he really drives a luxury car over, it might give people some unwanted ideas and complicate simple things.
Because he had added her on WeChat in advance, the process of picking her up was uneventful, and he smoothly picked up the little girl named Yang Yiyi.
Su Yi also confirmed one thing.
Her photo was not photoshopped.
And there were definitely no makeup tricks.
Yang Yiyi was sweating profusely from the sweltering heat of Jiangcheng as soon as she left the station, so it was easy to tell whether she was wearing makeup or not.
Moreover, she is even prettier in person than in the photos, wearing a JK uniform, tall and long-legged, with a full score for her looks.
If Yue Ling's appearance is the standard for 100 points, then Yang Yiyi's appearance would have to be at least 96 points.
Plus that youthful and energetic temperament.
This is simply a middle-aged man killer.
If Su Yi were thirty years old now, he would probably be dazed the moment he saw her.
"Brother Su Yi, hello, I'm Yang Yiyi!"
The little girl has a very outgoing personality. After they met, she took the initiative to shake hands before Su Yi could speak.
"Hello, it's too hot here, let's get in the car first."
After a brief greeting, he quickly called for her to get in the car.
In this ghastly weather, eggs could be fried on the ground, it's simply not a place for people to stay outdoors.
Now that he had picked her up, and it was dinner time, the next thing to do was to go to dinner.
During the meal, the two chatted briefly and got to know each other.
Mainly Su Yi getting to know the girl.
Both sides tacitly avoided mentioning the fact that their families originally wanted them to go on a blind date.
Su Yi didn't mention it mainly because Yang Yiyi was really good-looking... um, he's a pervert, and he was a little moved.
As for Yang Yiyi, seeing that Su Yi brought Yue Ling with him, she felt that this was a clear indication that he had no intention of going on a blind date, so she naturally wouldn't embarrass herself by continuing to mention it.
The place they ate wasn't a high-end place, just like Su Yi driving a broken car today.
It was just a very ordinary restaurant, and the three of them ate for less than two hundred yuan.
Yang Yiyi wasn't picky, and even praised Su Yi for choosing a good place while eating.
Both of them had decent EQ, and after a series of interactions, it wasn't as awkward as Su Yi had imagined.
When they came out of the restaurant after dinner, looking at the completely dark night sky, the question of where the girl would stay tonight was put before them.
Yang Yiyi is still a college student, and under normal circumstances, she can also return to her dormitory during the summer vacation.
But her dormitory building happened to be undergoing maintenance and renovation this semester, and the school had no place for her to live.
Letting her stay in a hotel...
Although there's nothing unsafe about it, this isn't a matter of one or two days. She came to find a job, and she probably needs a place to live before finding a job. He can't let her stay in a hotel every day.
Although Su Yi can afford this money, how can he explain it to his mother if he just sends her to a hotel when she asked him to take care of her?
So, after thinking it over, Su Yi sincerely invited Yang Yiyi to his house to live, out of consideration for her and certainly not because she was good-looking.
Yang Yiyi had only heard that Su Yi was doing business in Jiangcheng and seemed to be doing well, and thought that the house he bought or rented was relatively large.
She happened to need a place to live now, so she didn't think much and followed him.
After all, it was her mother who asked her to come, so she didn't think there would be any danger.
Until she saw the villa worth nearly 30 million, which was luxurious and no different from a palace to ordinary people.
